It's a common expectation, but it's wrong. There is nothing in the spec that 
encourages you to have such an expectation; you're just saying that if you had 
designed the language, you would have done it differently.

When the spec talks about an atomic value being expected, it's talking about 
expectations that are informed by reading the spec, not expectations based on 
how you would have liked the language to behave.
